  • PPP’S Latest Poll of North Carolina Voters Shows Current Attorney General Roy Cooper Leading Current Governor Pat Mccrory 43/41
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 9, 2015 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE NC Governor’s Race Continues To Be A Toss Up Raleigh, N.C. – PPP’s latest poll of North Carolina voters shows current Attorney General Roy Cooper leading current Governor Pat McCrory 43/41. This is nearly identical to Cooper’s lead of 44/41 over McCrory in a June 3rd poll. Cooper is viewed much more favorably at 36/20 than McCrory of whose job performance voters disapprove of 33/48. Women support Cooper more widely than McCrory at 46/36, while men support McCrory more at 47/39. “Pat McCrory’s approval rating this month is the lowest we’ve found for him since he took office,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “His dealings during this legislative session have antagonized some conservative voters without winning him any new friends across party lines. The big question though is whether this increased unhappiness with him will persist or fade once the legislature has gone home.” Incumbent Republican United States Senator Richard Burr maintains a sizeable lead against all potential Democratic challengers. Burr leads Dan Blue 45/35, Grier Martin 47/33, Mike McIntyre 44/35, Brad Miller 46/36, Heath Shuler 44/36, and Beth Wood 45/34. Blue and Wood are viewed more favorably than unfavorably at 18/16 and 16/11 respectively. Miller is viewed as favorably as he is unfavorably at 14/14.

  • 1 Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election by Sundeep Iyer
    Redistricting and Congressional Control Following the 2012 Election By Sundeep Iyer On Election Day, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives. While two Congressional races remain undecided as of November 20, it appears that Democrats may have picked up about eight seats during the 2012 election,1 falling well short of the 25 seats Democrats needed to take back control of the House. Before the election, the Brennan Center estimated that redistricting would allow Republicans to maintain long-term control of 11 more seats in the House than they would have under the previous district lines.2 Now that the election is complete, it is worth re-examining the influence of redistricting on the results of the 2012 election. This brief assesses how the new district lines affected the partisan balance of power in the House. The report is the prologue to more extensive analyses, which will examine other aspects of redistricting, including the fairness of the process and its effect on minority representation, among others. Based on our initial analysis of the 2012 election, several important trends emerge: • Redistricting may have changed which party won the election in at least 26 House districts. Because of redistricting, it is likely that the GOP won about six more seats overall in 2012 than they would have under the old district lines. • Where Republicans controlled redistricting, the GOP likely won 11 more seats than they would have under the old district lines, including five seats previously held by Democrats. Democrats also used redistricting to their advantage, but Republicans redrew the lines for four times as many districts as Democrats.

  • Fundraising by NC Members of Congress Jumps 4-Fold, 1980-2006
    Democracy North Carolina 1821 Green St., Durham NC 27705 • 919-489-1931 or 286-6000 • democracy-nc.org ——————————————————————————————————————————— For release: Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007 Contact: Bob Hall 919-489-1931 Fundraising Grows Four Times Faster Than Inflation For Members of Congress from North Carolina Members of Congress from North Carolina are raising four times as much campaign money as they did a generation ago, even adjusting for inflation, according to a new report The report shows that North Carolina’s 13 members of Congress raised $17 million during the 2006 election, with 40 percent of the funds coming from political action committees (PACs) sponsored by medical groups, utilities, unions, Realtors, political party leaders, and others. After adjusting the value of dollar for inflation, NC incumbents with opponents raised almost twice what their counterparts did in 1992 and four times what was raised in the 1980 election. Incumbents with opponents took in an average of $560,600 from PACs in the 2006 election, compared to $384,900 in 1992 (inflation adjusted dollars). “Members of Congress are spending more time raising more money – and getting much of it from wealthy special interest groups that want a payback for their investment,” said Bob Hall of Democracy North Carolina, the nonpartisan watchdog group that analyzed the data. The research shows that challengers raised less than one third as much as the incumbents in the 2006 election, and only one succeeded – Heath Shuler in western NC’s 11 Congressional District. The challengers also got only one ninth as much PAC money as the incumbents. “The price of election is being bid up and up,” Hall said.
